Why I Laugh
Friday, 29 May 2009
How often do you ask yourself the question “what am I grateful for?” It helps to also ask that question for specific areas of your life such as your work life. “What am I grateful for about doing the work that I do?” For me, Laughter has brought many changes in my life. At first it challenged me to face some hidden fears; then it almost magically, released many years of grieving that I hadn’t been able to shake. Over time it brought many delights as I witnessed others who came into the laughter sessions, let go, have fun and awaken to the deep joy within themselves. Laughter Yoga has the potential to change lives in one session and is especially effective when practiced regularly.
Laughter releases our unconscious clinging to things that no longer serve our health and well-being. It provides an environment where one can let go and open to the wonder of being in a joyful space with others. What could be more inspiring than to share with others at a time when they are happy and playful?
Over time, I experienced a strong self-confidence that I am okay ‘just the way I am’. I found a great sense of inner peace that there is nothing in the world that can take away my essential nature and connection to Spirit. I still experience the normal challenges to my personal state of being but also find that I am more willing to relax and to ‘look at’ what it is within me that is being challenged, and how I can move on from that. The laughter allows me a powerful tool to negotiate life and to see that life is such a gift, that is ever assisting me to learn and to grow and to appreciate. May life’s blessing’s become more apparent to you also, and may you enjoy it’s gifts ever more deeply and with a sense of the divine peace.
